Welcome to my blog. A blog started to keep in touch with family and friends. I titled it My Ducks In A Row because I always look like I have ducks in a row behind me. And, I am always trying to get my ducks in a row. I don't know why, just seems like something I am supposed to be doing! I am wife to Todd, Mom to Kellen, Garrett, Gannon, and Callie. Teacher to my kiddos and trying to be a helpmeet to my hubby (I'm a little stubborn!).

That Time Of Year

Well, it was time for our summer trip to a baseball game. It doesn’t seem like it would be summer without heading to a ball field! Todd had already chosen the Yankees/Royals game in April, when we had no idea what kind of heat we would be having! Yes, I know it is always hot in the summer, but this is a little much! We had intended to have a few days to enjoy Kansas City, but that didn’t work out thanks to Sam’s. I’m really trying to not have a pity party about it, since they are technically the ones paying for the fun. But, Todd has had to change pretty much every vacation and day off this summer. It is getting a little old! Yes, I’m thankful my husband has a job and we can do this, but mama’s organization skills have been extremely challenged this summer with the constant changing! My little brain can’t take it!! Ha! So, it was just an overnight trip to KC, but a fun one!

Yes, it was this hot! The game had not even started yet, bless her heart! The guys enduring the sun. Ok, so mama didn’t do a good job of picking seats. Oh well! But, it turned out to be a great game. A-Rod, who is one of Garrett’s favorites, hit three homeruns. Yes, three in one game! There were a lot of homeruns in fact, which makes for a much more exciting game. By the, oh, sixth or seventh inning, the heat broke a little and the game was quite pleasant!
We were under the seats checking out the concession stands when someone hit a homerun, this is Callie’s reaction! “Too loud, mama"!” (Pardon the bad phone picture!)

Our family pic. Next time I think we will take the picture before the game! Although I don’t think at this game it would have helped. This is what we looked like by the time we walked from the car!

But, this makes it totally worth it. Garrett’s reaction to A-Rods third homerun. This was his reaction to pretty much all the home runs, but I know this was the third one because I told Todd to get the camera ready just in case. I couldn’t believe he actually hit another homerun! Pure excitement from a ten-year-old boy. I guess mama can sit in the heat for a few hours for this face!
